I <3 Obama; Thank God Iowa Isn't Stupid

Yes. YES. Thank you, 38% of Democratic caucus goers in Iowa, for making the right choice. I won't have to castigate you on my blog that no one reads. Congratulations also to the people who caucused on both sides in record numbers. It's really awesome to see people braving the bad weather to participate in the democratic process. We need more of that in this country, but even more so we need more informed participation. I'm feeling like that's what we got this time.

As an Obama supporter, this is sweet, sweet vindication. It is invigorating. My belief in Obama is even more solid. That victory speech was for the ages, and it underscores exactly why I and many others feel like he's the man that needs to be president for the good of our country. We do need to turn towards change in this country, to turn away from the ridiculous partisan politics that gets nothing done in Washington. We need positive and optimistic and honest people in charge who will be committed to righting this ship and getting us back on the right way. Listen to or read that speech and tell me if Obama isn't the person that this country needs.
